Answer: c. Lactate
Explanation:
Fermentation is an important process used by mankind for the production of food and beverages, being very important in the metabolism of several living beings, including us humans. It is an anaerobic process of breaking down glucose to produce energy. Because it is anaerobic, it does not involve mitochondria or oxygen, being ab enzymatic process enzymatic. fermentative processes result from the activity of microorganisms such as yeast or fungi and certain bacteria.
Lactobacilli (bacteria present in milk) perform lactic fermentation, where the end product is acid lactic. For this, they use as a starting point the lactose, the sugar that is unfolded, by enzyme action that occurs outside bacterial cells, in glucose and galactose. Next, the monosaccharides enter the cells where fermentation occurs.
